Full time - Arsenal 0-1 West Ham - Arsenal's unbeaten run at Emirates Stadium is over. Relegation-threatened West Ham United put up a brave performance and take home all three points courtesy of Bobby Zamora's effort on the stroke of half time. Wenger's side were dominant throughout but Robert Green produced an exquisite goalkeeping performance to deny the Gunners time and time again.

93 mins - That man Green claims bravely and with it surely wins the game for West Ham.

93 mins - A frantic end here! Arsenal have a corner and even Lehmann is up in the box,

92 mins - Aliadiere fires in a cross but somehow misses every red and white shirt.

90 mins - Four minutes of added time are indicated by the fourth official.

87 mins - Substitute Boa Morte rounds Lehmann but the German keeper makes his presence felt and the former Arsenal man clips his effort wide.

86 mins - One last throw of the dice as Diaby emerges from the bench. Gilberto makes way.

84 mins - How close can you come? Gilberto takes a ball down on the back post, fires past Green but can only watch on as the ball cannons off the foot of the post.

83 mins - Aliadiere finds Baptista on the edge of the box but the Brazilian's shot is charged down.

82 mins - Fabregas has a free header but Green just plucks it out of the air.

81 mins - There are less than 10 minutes remaining for Arsenal to save their unbeaten record here at Emirates Stadium. Rest assured they're throwing everything forward.

78 mins - Toure finds Adebayor in the box but his attempt at a backheel fails to pay off. He wins a corner though, from which Toure blazes over.

74 mins - Wenger looks to 'The Beast' as Ljungberg makes way for Baptista.

70 mins - Aliadiere finds room for a snap shot but his effort curls agonisingly wide. There's no lack of endeavour here from the Gunners but unsurprisingly West Ham are proving a stubborn force to break down.

66 mins - An instant chance for Aliadiere but the angle is tight and his shot finds the sidenetting.

64 mins - Substitutions by both managers. Hleb makes way for Jeremie Aliadiere while Curbishley sends on ex-Gunner Luis Boa Morte in place of scorer Zamora.

60 mins - Fabregas makes room for a thunderbolt from 25-yards. This time Green is beaten but the ball crashes off of the crossbar and back into play.

58 mins - A Fabregas free-kick finds Adebayor unmarked six-yards out. The Togo international meets it perfectly with a header, turns away to celebrate and Green just lifts a hand to palm it away. What will Arsenal have to do to beat this guy?

56 mins - Adebayor fires a dangerous ball across the face of goal but Anton Ferdinand is on hand to clear.

53 mins - Gilberto drills a low shot from the edge of the box but Green produces the best stop of the lot to fingertip the ball away.

50 mins - Adebayor towers above everyone to head a dangerous knock-down which Neill scoops over his own bar.

48 mins - A ricochet out of the penalty area falls to Gael Clichy but the Frenchman lashes it high and wide with his weaker right foot.

46 mins - West Ham were the last team to win at Highbury. Arsenal have 45 minutes to ensure they do not become the first to win at the Emirates.

Half time - Arsenal 0-1 West Ham United - After a bright and encouraging start the Gunners find themselves one goal down at the break. Ljungberg, Fabregas and Adebayor all came close to breaking the deadlock while Rosicky has twice been denied by the splendid Robert Green. Then with two minutes of added time played Zamora broke through to lob Lehmann and leave Arsenal requiring yet another Emirates comeback.

46 mins - GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 West Ham United - Lucas Neill drives the ball up field for Zamora. The striker steals a march on Kolo Toure and stretches out a leg to lift the ball over the on-coming Lehmann and give the visitors the lead.

45 mins - Two minutes of added time are signalled. Arsenal continue to creep forward but West Ham now look comfortable sweeping up any danger.

41 mins - It's all become a little sloppy here with both teams relinquishing possession a little to easily. A slick move involving Eboue and Ljungberg nearly fashions an opportunity but the latter is beaten to the ball by Green.

36 mins - Tevez charges forward but fails to find a finish and the ball limps through to Lehmann. Could Wenger's side be made to pay for not capitalising on their earlier chances?

32 mins - West Ham go straight up the other end but Bobby Zamora's attempt to find Carlos Tevez is too close to Jens Lehmann.

31 mins - Rosicky lets fly with a vicious, swirling effort but Green makes another top-notch save.

27 mins - West Ham have certainly become more adventurous but Arsenal look dangerous on the break. Adebayor skips away down the left but his attempt to find Fabregas is easily cut out.

22 mins - Rosicky reacts quickest to a loose ball on the edge of the box to bend a superb effort that drifts narrowly wide.

20 mins - Arsenal continue to dominate but West Ham seem to have woken up following that earlier onslaught.

15 mins - Eboue carves open the West Ham defence to find Rosicky on the edge of the box. The Czech midfielder tries to place the ball first time with the side of his foot but steers wide.

14 mins - The visitors make their first foray forward only for Matthew Etherington to be caught offside.

11 mins - Rosicky plays Ljungberg through but again Green is on hand to smother. Arsenal could be out of sight already.

8 mins - Ljungberg bursts down the right before picking out Adebayor in space. The striker's first-time shot is fierce but sails over the crossbar. Everything about Arsenal's play has oozed positivity so far.

4 mins - A frantic start from Arsenal. Emmanuel Adebayor, Freddie Ljungberg and Emmanuel Eboue all take aim in quick succession but somehow the Hammers hold on.

2 mins - Rosicky puts Cesc Fabregas clean through but West Ham keeper Robert Green makes himself big to deny the Spaniard.

1 min - Referee Graham Poll gets us underway.

Welcome to Emirates Stadium for this afternoon’s Premiership encounter with West Ham United.

Arsène Wenger makes three changes from the defeat at Liverpool last Saturday as Gilberto, Tomas Rosicky and Freddie Ljungberg come in. The players to miss out are Abou Diaby and Julio Baptista who drop to the bench and Denilson who is rested.
